is it possible to pass arguments to the python in linux without having a file? I'm currently not able to create a file or change permissions and I don't want to write it inside my code like this:
import sys
sys.argv = ["arg1", "arg2", ...]
I'd like to hand over the arguments while I'm starting the shell:
python <arguments>
While it is questionable if passing commands line arguments to an interactive shell is best practice, it is indeed possible by passing - instead of the script's file name:
$ python - a1 a2
Python 2.7.14 (default, Sep 23 2017, 22:06:14)

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import sys
>>> sys.argv
['-', 'a1', 'a2']
